Is there a way to precache particles without setting up (connecting to) a game server?

You can set up SM plugins (You're looking at the particle precache plugin mainly: https://rulesofp.wordpress.com/2015/10/19/81/) on your own client and make use of the -insecure launch option to allow running them client side, thus allowing you to "offline" maps with particles, but you will not be able to connect to other live servers while you're doing this. Do this at your own risk as things could get messed up when fiddling around with files in CSGO.

 

It's a late response, but I've only now taken time to try it out, and it actually works. So, here's how to do it step by step.

1. Download Metamod:Source.
   https://sourcemm.net/
2. Make your VDF (for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive).
   http://sourcemm.net/vdf
3. Install Metamod:Source.
   a) Unpack downloaded "Metamod:Source" archive and copy its files to your "csgo" folder (..\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\).
   b) Copy the VDF file that you made over the existing one to the "addons" folder.
4. Download SourceMod.
   https://www.sourcemod.net/downloads.php
5. Install SourceMod.
   Unpack downloaded SourceMod archive and copy its files to your "csgo" folder.
6. Download autoprecacher plugin.
   https://rulesofp.wordpress.com/2015/10/19/81/
7. Unpack downloaded autoprecacher archive and copy "autoparticleprecacher.smx" file to SourceMod's "plugins" folder. You can also copy "autoparticleprecacher.sp" to the "scripting" folder, but it's just source code and not really necessary.
8. Start CS:GO with "-insecure" launch option.
   Open your Steam library, right-click on "CS:GO", choose "Properties", press "Set launch options.." button", type "-insecure" in the field (without quotes).
   It's an official and legal option, but you will need to remove it to be able to connect to VAC protected servers.
9. Start CS:GO and load a map.
   Type "map <mapname>" in CS:GO console.

   And you are good to go.

Thank you, @bb_IU, for the idea!
